I remember something similar when I read your book. I need to be a better listener. I posted the question, but never heard a reply. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t a reply, I never heard it. I need to be a better listener. I will do this today, and make sure I have my quiet times and be more aware. Thank you, Suzie.

When I read this it spoke volumes to me. By asking this daily it takes the focus off me and puts it on him. What a large benefit to get from such a small question. I pray for others and I do for them also, but I have to admit a lot of my time is about what makes me happy. So I am going to put this in my daily and see where it takes me. I’m a work in progress.

This brings to mind something I read a while ago (it may even have been in conjunction with Come With Me). It was to turn my to-do-list into a to-You-list and the things on God’s list are:
Tell Me what you are thankful for in your day
Look for My beauty and love
Pray
Trust Me that what truly needs to be done today will be
Talk with someone about Me
Rest in My silence and peace even if it’s only for 5 minutes
Write a prayer or letter to Me
Feel My love and grace for you as you are right now
Read My Word
Show compassion for one of My children
Love you, God
These are all things that will bring God joy.

Beautiful. Mine was just as simple. I made a phone call. I listened to someone who is in a hard place. I sat with a five-year-old and told knock-knock jokes. Sure, there was ministry and blogging and a devo to write, but the small things is where I felt God’s pleasure.

What a beautiful question: What can I do to bring you joy, Lord? I want to keep asking this. (Only sometimes I don’t really want to ask because I’m too preoccupied with my own needs.) But I’m trusting God will keep changing my heart so that I keep asking Him this.

I didn’t write to your prompt, but I linked up because I feel my post resonates with it and with the #livefree community. So glad to be connected to all of the beautiful #livefree women I find when I come here.
